8 CITIZEN TRAIN'S BIG BLUFF History of His Olaim that He Ownsa B8lice of Omaha. HOW GEORGE P. BEMIS GOT HIS WAGES One Big Pay Day in Ten Years When He Was Private Secretary to His Unele—Teain Was in Madhouse. One of the residents of the southern part of the city, who heard the declaration made by Gieorge Francis ‘Train, that he has the title to a large partof Omaha and could foreclose atany time, has written to Tue Bre for information as to whether there is any ground for the statement in fact. e history of George Francis Train's reai estate carcer in Omaha is found in a very complete form in the records of the district court for Douglas county. Away back in the 60's, when the terminus of the Union Paci vas located in Omaha, Mr. T M acres of land in what became Credit Foncier addi- ton. The amount he actually paid is believed to be nominal—possibly §100. He gave o mortgage to Samuel 1. Rogers to se- cure the payment of nine notes, aggregating 21,000, payable in nine annual instalments, The conditions of the conveyance were that if the notes were paid the deed should be con- sidered canceled, but if any of the notes were not paid at the time they were due the deed should be and remain in full force, In January, 1873 Mr. Rogers commenced suit on the notes, allezing that not a dollar of principal or interest had been paid, The case dragged along in the courts until June 18, 1874, when by stipulation the timo was extended for threo years, the original in- debtedness and inferest amounting at that time to §82,000. This amount was made into notes, which were to draw 10 per cent in- terest. This was not paid and_the property icstion was sold on July 6, 1876, at § e, the proceeds amounting to ,000 less than the amount then One Pay Day in Ten Yenrs, Almost immediately after the sale of this property Georgo P, Bemi ced suit against his uncle, Geor C in, for the sum of §47,600.80, which he alleged was due him for services as private secretar Train, Tho petition alleges that Mr. | had hired his nephew on November 1 as his private secretary at a salary of 8,000 a year, and that he remained in his employ a8 such vrivate secratary for a period of ten years, being a faithful employe, carrying out the plans and wishes of his' employer and often undertaking hazardous duties, An exhibit was published showing in detail the accounts of the private secretary for the ten years, legving a balanco at the time of the “suit, including unpaid salary, interest and cash advanced of #7,000.80. ~Inasmuch s 10 defense was made judgment was given she plaintiff by default, and on January 27, :877, ten ucres ot ground belonging to Citizen Train, lo in section 9, township 15, range 13, were sold tosatisfy the execution in tavor of his ex-privato sceretary. Mr, Bo- mis was the dighest bidder and secured the ten acres for §1,000. He Knew a Good Thing. This property was the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of the southcast quarter of scction 9 as described above and vomprised the ten acres lying east of I'hir- tieth streetand south of Maple, property that sold a few years after it came into Mr. Bemis’ possession at from §1,200 to 1,500 per -ot," cut five lots to the acre. Mr. Bemis also sccured at the sume sale forty acres of land that had belonged to Mr. Train in Platte county, bidding therefor 500, Both of these sales were properly ratified by the district court for Douglas county, thus effectively remoying any claim that Mr. Train may have had in the property, At the presentime he has not a shadow of title to & fo6t of land in Omaba. ‘Che plea has been made frequently by tizen Urain that the foreclosure nbove mentioned is void, and that he 15 still the rightful owner of the land. He claims that Bemis took the procedure aforesaid while ho (Train) was incarcerated in an insane asy- lum. and that the judgment “did not count” for this reason. Citizen Train still labors under the hallucination that he yet owns tha land in question, and that - was what prompted him to make s bluft at_Boyd's theater during his recent lecture. In fact, however, Mr. Bemis took possession of the property in the manner above described. e SHOT A BABY. Weckless Shooting of a Sportsnan Res G. P. Palmer and a party of five others were returuing to Omaha yesterday noon from an unsuccéssful hunting trip. While driviug cost on Military ave- nue Mr. Palmer fired a load of heuvy bird shot into what he supposed to be- an unoccupied store at 4823 Military avenue, ‘The load went in over a transom which was partly covered with boards and struck the ceiling. One of the shots glanced and was imbedded in the skull of Charley, the year- old buby of Fred Johuson, o grader, who oc- cupied the room with his family, The child was lying in bed at tho timo and its mother was leaning over it, but the latter escaped unhurt. Mus. Dr. Heinrod was called, but she was ungble to oxtract the shot without danger w0 the child’s head, 50 firmly was the lead buried in the boue, 1t is expected, however, that the child will ver without the extriaction of the lead, he affair happened outside the city limits, and complaint will be lodzed against Pal: mer before a justico of the peace. Detective Savage arrested the sportsman, and Detec- tive Hudson gathered the evidéice. for ses prosecution of the man. Fred Johnson, the father of the child, says that aftor the shot was fired he opened the door of the house and called 10 the party to stop, which thoy refused to do. re —_—— You € 't Beay It, Leave Omaha at4 p. m. via the Chi- cago, Rock Island & Pacific and be in- side the World’s fair grounds at 8 a. m. the following morning.” You can't make this time via any other line, and the ac- commodations to be had on the great Rock Island are noted from Maine to California.

WILL RESIST FURTHER RETRENCHMENT Plain Talk from a Prominent Member of & Railway Brotherhood—Meeting of the Ameriean Railway Union Yesters day—Probuble Results. Tt is the consensus of local opinion among railway brotherhooas that if the managers of the Union Pacific railroad attempt to en- force the proposed cut in the wages of their employes they will doubtiess precipitate a suike which will stop every wheel on the system from moving. This decision was reached at a largely attended meeting of the American Railway union in Gate City hall yesterday afternoon. Tt will be remembered that the managers of this road called a meeting of the leading representatives of the various labor organi- zations of their employes in order to discuss plans for retrenchment. Nothing definite was done at this meeting, but a few days afterward a circular was issued from Union Pacific headquarters saying that a certain per cent of the salaries of the men would "o taken off until the financial affairs v * be road became in a better condition. Sirco then there has been many mectings of the men, and it has been discovered that the majority of them were opposed to any reduction. The cut was to take effect-this month in moss of the de- partments, The organizations which had agreements with the company that no re- ductions should take place in cheir salaries without first receiving thirty days notice were served with this notice on the lst of the present month, Determination of Organized Labor. A mecting of organized railway employes was called and held yesterday. Nearly every man employed in the operating depart- ments of the Union Pacific road was present, and the hall was packed to suffocation with men who seem determined to resist to the bitter end any attempt at reducing their wages. Many speeches were made by the members. The question was col lered from allstandpoints, and _there was no ex- citement or il Teeling exhibited. The men are inclined to regard the matter in the light of any other business proposition which might affect their wages. If avote had been reached before the meeting adjournea there is no doubt but that it would have been unanimous aguinst the proposed reduc- tion. = One of the men who attended the meoting said toa Ber reporter: “Business is pick- ing up and as most of us ure doiug two men’s work now I don't see why our wages should be reduced. It is hard enough on us now, for things have been changed 8o that switchmen only make from $00 to $65 per month whero they used to make $55 didn’t have to work so hard, either. yis making plenty of money the wers do not offer to increase our vhen dull times strilro them they aly begin their retrenchment by cutting do Wo are also of the opinion that if o allowed to cut down our wages now it would be a long time before the: would offer to restore our pay to_ what it is now. These reductions never affect the men who receive large salaries as much as they do the laborers who 1¢68 vo small enough wages at the best. Ta e the section men for instance. Thoy huve been receiving $1.40 per day. They aro now cut down to $L.15 for work out on the rond and §1.25 for work in the yards, These men cannot work all the time, owing to’ bad. weather, and when from $4.80 to §.30 is taken off from their wages 1n one month it s0on amounts to quitoa sum. Weare thoroughly organizea and will resist any attempt to cut our wages. Will Fresent an Uitimatam, “Engineers are now hauling nearly twice as many loaded cars on each trip us they formerly did, and iv is not an uncommon sight to see one engine hauling from thirty to forty loaded cars or forty to fifty empties in one train. It the engineer loses time be- cause of the heavy load he has behind his engine he is compelled to make a report to headquarters from the first stopping pluc and sometimes they get “jucked up' because they cannot make schedule time ou the wrip. Wo are earning every cent we get from the company and most of us cannot see why we should accept smaller wages. Nearly all the members of our union are favovably in- clined toward the proposition that we lend the railroad company from 15 to 20 per cent < our wages each month until it is in a position to repuy the money. A com- mittee from our union will wait on the gen- eral manager and other officials and sce if they will accept (u proposal. We be that this would le a fair and equitable method for all cone >rued and would prev any squabbling. If they insist on en the proposed reduction we will all st gether in opposition to any such move part of the company.” The members of the union did not come out plaiuly and say thut they would swrike, but they were emphatic in saying thut th would oppose the attempted reduction, Just what action the oficials of the roud will take remains to be seen, e NEW BRIDGE PROJECT. Quiet Agitation for a Pontoon Across the Missourl River, A proposition to build a pontoon bridge across the Missourd river from South Omaha to Lake Manawa is being quietly agitated by anumberof well known citizens who are largely interested in the prosperity of South Omaha. One of the propositions is to have the city vote binds to pay for the building of the bridge, and another is to raise mone, by organiziug a compa looked into the matter say that a satisfa tory bridge could be constructed for from $15,000 to £20,000. If the bridge 1s built by the city no toll is likely to be charged, but it it s vl by & company {18 guite Ikely thau a toll of 5 cents each way will be exacted, “The proposed site would bo at about the foot of N street. The city limits run clear down to the river, so there would be no dif- fleulty in securg right of way. ‘Lhe peoplo over at Manawa desire to have the structure built and will do everything to urge the mat- ter along. “Iu would be a big thing for South Omaha,” suid a prominent citizen, “and I beliove the broposition is a feusivlo one. My idea would $o %o havo the city build the bridme " Wa could raise money on long time bonds, and if 1t was thought best we could charge n toll fora few yeurs, By doing this the bridge would soon pay for itself. It would open up this market all tho people living over on the Towa side for miles arouna and look at tho trafi: we would get from Omaha that would come avound this way. As for the lake itself there is no prettie in this section of the country, There is danger of Lake Manawa ever running d and i a bridge was built the management THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: Those who have | body of water | NI ( of that resort would'mo doubt spend thou- sands of doliars in #i%ing the place up in ele- gant metropolitanstyle.” ———— SANDBAGGRD BY FOOTPADS.

Patterson, at the First Pre by- terian church yesterday morning, deiivered oloquent sermon upon tho need of more s and thanksgiving in this world for the sines that come in various forms, He said that he knew people that returacd thanks one aay in the year and ‘‘croaked” 2 others. This he believed wus en- ‘ong and especially in the Christian, He thought that the mission of the Chris- tian, as intended by God, was to infuse lov brightness and sweetness into everything, He guve encouraging words to those who suffer — and whom misfortune has visited, — and urged them to be thankful for the sins overcome ana blessings iven. Victories come singly, and as each one is added to the Christiun life they all swell the list of those achieved, and when comes the final triumph then would there be the greatest of rejoicing. Until this time comos. however, the priis and thankfulness should not be forgotten for the single etories. Ho believed that prayers were answeved, und there should bo thankfulness for that.’ He illustrated this fact by describing the 10ss of Parosh and his army in the Red sea, when the waves were parted to permit " the Isiaclites guining the promised land, Rev. Patterson said the Christian duty was to look at tne picture as it presents itself, and that the richest of praise and thankfuluess should be given for the prayers answered und sins overcome, e Osonr Was Embarras ed.

The People Wil Have an Opportanity to Decldo the Question. The voters of this city will have theop- portunity at the approaching election to au- thorize the issue of bonds in the amount of 250,000 to be used in acquiring the title 0 a 8quare to be devoted to market house pur- poses, “I'ne council has officially approved of this proposition by adopting the report of the special market house committee. The com- mittee found upon investigation that the sum of #3000 was too large for the erection of a_market house on Capitol avenue be- ‘Twelfth and Thirteenth strects ' accord- ance with the plans submitted by the en- neer. and inadequate if a structure such as would be necessary 1o carry out the sugges- tions of the Knights of Labor was erected. The Knights wanted the building of sufi cient height to permit of the top floor being transformed into a public hall. This would necessitate a moro commodious and better constructed building. For theso rea- sons the members of the committee con- cluded that a market house square should bo acquired and a_permanent building erected. An estimate of the probable cost of such an enterprise has been placed nt 250,000 and the people will have the opportunity by their votes to determine whether o pormanent market house is wanted at this time.
